I just hope you have better "willpower" (or is that "won't power") that I did/do: I went into my first IAE last year with no intention of buying anything, but the RAFT they released that year called me too strongly... I'm now more than half-way to what I have seen labelled as the "Gold Suit of...

Something like this? https://robertsspaceindustries.com/iae2952#/IAE/Countdown-to-IAE

Which is certainly the best advice... Everything will be available to acquire in-game at some stage. Newly released ships may take a few months, but they will eventually arrive to purchase with aUEC. I'm interested to see what (if any) referral bonus will be on offer for the event, as well as...

From memory (I could be wrong, last year was my first IAE): Each manufacturer has a "day" assigned to them, which is when their ships are available to buy (and rent for free 48 hours test fly). The ships are available to rent the following day, and I believe they remain in the store from that...

A friendly reminder that the Corsair is releasing in a few days (Most likely day 1 of IAE) with probable price increase, so if you have CCU's for it in your buy-back queue, retrieve the ones you want before then.

You forgot "Not enough Armor", although being a Drake ship, that's generally expected anyway :) I'd prefer the "starter" version to be a competitor to the Mustang Alpha and Aurora MR, giving new players a third "entry level" starter ship pack option. Of course, if that happens, I may end up...

The image with stats for the Cutter and pictures of 2 potential variants of the ship was also a leak rather than data-mined.

Galaxy is probably (almost certainly?) coming as concept: The CIG statement is more likely about the details\images of the Cutter or Galaxy having changed from the information which was published (Possibly 3 variants of the Cutter based on IAE map): For all we know, they were merely hinting...

I'll be able to make a slightly more sedate entrance - Subscriber status "should" give me a week to play with each of the new release-to-flyable ships, so I can spend a bit more time than the free 2 day rental with them. Besides, The effort required to run around screaming will be better spent...

That was my hope - I'd like a little time to be able to put aside some funds to acquire it. Unfortunately, it appears that I'll be missing out on that one, as IAE floor plans show it in the hologram area, betwen the Perseus and the Polaris (with the Appollo Triage on the end). They also appear...

That update from CIG was a little ambiguous: The ship shown landing in the IAE teaser video looks very much like the upper of the 2 ships in the "leak" (tail fin shapes are different for the 2 versions in the leak). The text, however, seems to be related to the "exploration" variant, which was...

To help people prepare for the excitement of IAE... Please pledge responsibly.

Even that's fancier than I would have expected - There's side doors at the rear of the Cutty and Cutlass's, so I think the plan is that you just hang out over the side there, which could be "interesting" on long-haul flights (Pyro) away from anything with an atmosphere... No stockpiling...

I do like what has been "leaked" about the ship, and had been considering getting one, but not knowing the price is my main issue... At present there are 3 Spirits and the STV available (at least for a couple of days), then there will be (probably) the Drake Cutter(s), Drake Corsair, Anvil C8R...

2 SCU doesn't seem to far off (maybe 3 or 4 in the non-expedition version replacing the suit locker and food machine?) - it doesn't appear to be much larger than a 100i or Aurora - I'd guess that it's around 12-15m long, 4-5 high, and maybe 10m wide. - Looks like cockpit, then behind it -...

Looking at the features, it's nice to see that they are sticking to the Drake tradition of not including a bathroom on the ship :)

With the confirmation today that the Spirit is in active development (no word on whether all, or only certain models) that is scheduled to finish in June next year, I now have to decide whether to acquire one in the last few days it is available, or to rely on CCU's to acquire one in the future...
